University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, IL Organize many levels of a very large knowledge based simulation projects.
Brought over 18 programmers together to deliver a coherent product.
Ran weekly (sub)group meetings, down to help solving any problem.
Hiring, demo, design, install trips, prototyping to lead project direction.
Taught group of 6 how to use a Rule-Based-shell for a reasoner-rewrite in Art*Enterprise.
Projects included: Simulation-based, Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) &
Real-Time control system. Being used in classroom, real life testing, presented at IAAI99 'Automated Instructor Assistant for Ship Damage Control' The system teaches Navy officers how to save a simulated ship in crisis.
A variant was developed to catch real-time crisis conditions and suggest solutions www.dwilkins.org/members.htm

Knowledge-Engineer

Oct 1996Jun 1998

Helped develop and install their very first product (Intelligent email reply). Worked between development and consulting. Helped on several Knowledge-Based business applications. Helped with several deployed Knowledge-Based business applications (ie. financial: mortgage, web based job finder). [Art*Enterprise]See: http://www.brightware.com/eservice_solutions/ More recently I worked 1/2year for the new version of the company: Mindbox.

Wrote fielded Expert System by myself at the end of grad-school. [in Lisp rule-shell then CLIPS] Prototyped communication & control of distributed simulation. [in CLIPS PVM etc] Agent wrapping of simulations with CLIPS+PVM, to describe then mix and match them. Also used C++/Smalltalk/FORTRAN with PVM; Other work as needed. Algo/Viz/Etc. Written up in a book about innovative distributed object application. See: http://www.dis.anl.gov/DEEMHLAsimhttp://www.dis.anl.gov/DEEM/DIASmike.bobak.googlepages.com/diaswp.pdf _More recently I worked part-time for the new subgroup of dis: cas.dis.anl.gov.
